After a public outcry against its closure, the BBC Singers choir has been given a reprieve.
The Corporation says it can continue performing while it looks at other ways of funding the group, which is the UK’s only full-time professional chamber choir.
The singers were due to be axed just before their centenary because of BBC budget cuts.
Many of the the UK’s most prominent musicians and conductors had criticised the plan.
